Heritage Livestock Conference Update I travelled to Fishers, IN to attend the 2018 Heritage Livestock Conference organized by The Livestock Conservancy. It has been a great learning experience so far and the actual conference hasn’t even started! Today I attended a conference workshop – “oxen basics” and it was a chance to learn a bit… Read more

Summer Update and Check-In Whew! We’ve been way too busy to find time to keep up with the blog and website. For that we’re sorry. It’s hard to believe that Summer is almost over – and still so much to do! I wanted to take a minute to catch you up with what we’ve been… Read more

Spring update – Full Steam Ahead! Veggies Well it is ON! The Sun is out and has dried out the garden enough that we have been planting and now have a bunch of plants growing in the ground. Our 20-week CSA starts delivery this week – we delayed two weeks due to the weather –… Read more

Hatching, Planning, Waiting… Successful Hatch! We successfully hatched out the fertile eggs we purchased as part of our breeding plan and laying hen replacement.

Definitely learned some lessons to apply to next year, especially as it relates to insect and weed pressure. The rototiller runs again (huzzah!) and it’s been used to get the… Read more

I have been slacking with my posting duties being too busy with everything that's been going on around here. We finally fenced in the fruit trees, expanding the area so we may add blueberry bushes in the Spring. Now we won't have to battle the elk to keep them from stripping our trees bare. The… Read more

Finally we have had some good weather which has let us get caught up on our long list of chores. We have added a bunch more chickens, now up to 50 or so, have added another rooster so we can start breeding our own replacement hens, and our turkeys have graduated to pasture. The garden… Read more
